Ideally that would be just "autoreconf -i" in all autoconfiscated projects.
Pity autoreconf doesn't handle intltool or gtk-doc or some other
semi-common bootstrap tools. Maybe autoconf should provide a way of
extending autoreconf - perhaps by providing
${pkgdatadir}/autoreconf.d/ into which other packages can drop files
that get run whenever one invokes autoreconf?
